I prefer the ancient Greek attitude of
not pitying the hero, but affirming the knowledge of the price paid
for heroism. That is not to say I don't occasionally wallow in pity,
but the point is I call it “wallowing” and not wonderful pity.
This seems like a matter of taste, but it also may have to do with my
Northern European heritage.
Can an artist combine the classical
view of representing reality, mimesis, with the romantic view of
self-expression? I think so, and I call it “evolutionary realism.”
This can harmonizes with sociobiological Ordered Evolution and
political Revitalized Conservatism.
The mission is very long term, to
evolve all the way to Godhood in the cosmos, and progress needs to be
balanced with order so that the various positive cultural and genetic
gains can be retained before evolving ever forward.
